Lewie will answer the following questions without equivocation, and satisfactorily, we have no doubt he can get great many votes more than he can by endorsing such a man as Kearney or byany other obscure or vague general disouesion of the subject : What constitutes a workingman entitled to membership in your party ? Do the workingmen intend to continue workingmen ? If not what do they propose to become ? If they do intend to continue working-men will they work for themselves or others ? If for themselves on what plan ? If on the co-operative plan what is to prevent them from doing so now, or of becoming stockholders in any railroad or other corporation ? If they are to work for others, on what terms or conditions ? , Who is to fix the conditions ? If the others are to fix the conditions, in what does that differ from the present state of affairs ? If the workingmen are to make the conditions upon which they are to work for others, how will they compel the others to agree to their conditions ? How will they get others to invest money in a.ny enterprise which is not under their own control in the matter of labor? Bow, Uranea Atljieu. According to Comptes Bendus, St. Pierre and Mugnien have arrived at the following conclusions in regard to the changes which grapes undergo while ripening. During the process they evolve carbonic acid in darkness as well as in light, when exposed to the air or placed in an indifierent gas. The amount of oxygen evolved in air is always in excess of the oxygen taken up; this has been remarked in the case of observations ex tending over a long apace of time. Grapes ean absorb or give off water according as they are placed in a moist or dry medium. As the change goes on the acids decrease in amount, while the quantity of sugar increases. The acids and the glucose are carried to the grapes by the sap. Here the acids are slowly consumed, while the sugar increase in point of concentration, and at a still later stag the sugar itself u consumed. BY TELEGRAPH TO THE OHIO STATE JOURNAL YELLOW FEVER.

Mrs. Jenks says she wrote this letter, and Weber says that be destroyed it. General Butler produces it in Sherman's own penmanship intact and authenticated. The publio will never know whom to believe. A gentleman here who has recently seen General Butler, corroborates the statement in the New York paperB regarding the recent discovery of the letter, but he knows of no one who has seen it, except General Butler. If Secretary Sherman had never denied writing such a communication, its existence would have no importance whatever, as it means nothing.

The Marshal of the latter place took and started the tramps for that locality, and it was thought the people would lynch the tramps before waiting for a trial. One J. M. Blose, a Justice of the Peace, of Fremont, believes in summary and corporal punishment.

Andrew Carey, near Plain Oity, a few nights since had his fine fat cattle run into by the East bound express train on the Panhandle road, killing five of the cattle and nearly wrecking the train.

Oa examining the matter it was found that the fence where Ihe cattle came out of the pasture had been earefully laid down, and horses' tracks were seen there and on each side of the railroad crossing, Indicating that tha cattle had been huddled on the track for a similar purpose. There is said to be yet more and nnpublishable proof in the matter, yet to be investigated. Messrs. Snyder A Blankford.

A View of tbe Congressional Field Uow Oeddea Treated Burn. Mt. Vernon, August 27. To the Editor ol the Ohio Slate Journal : There is not much doing in a political way in this Congressional district. The three parties are organized for the fray, and the most flurry so far ia being made by the Nationals, but how many parts wind to solid fact it contains is the thing whioh is hard to find out. They claim that they will get 6000 votes in the district. They may get 400 votes in tbis county, expeot but little in Holmes, but count big on the Tuscarawas miners, while Richland is not much talked about. There is considerable soreneBs in Richland and Holmea on account of the treatment Colonel Burns has recsived at the hands of the Democratic nominee, George W. Geddes. During the war he was remarri ed as being on about as many sides of the political leooo as any man could well be. During a good part of the time he held office, and atone time was on the State ticket for Supreme Judee. and vet all this oould not or did not appease his selfish desireB. When the time drew near for the present nomination, he held aloof and was OBtenaily a friend of Colooel Burns, and when it was Been that in a few more ballots that geutleman could receive the nomination. Mr. Ged des suddenly discovered that he possessed the elements of a dark horse. He hung about the Convention with the persistency of grim death, and had his trap fully baited. At the proper time it wbb Bprung. and he carried off tha nrli defeating his old friend and former business partner. Such base ingratitude has seldom been witnessed, and that too when it is known that Colonel Rums in former years always gave him a push in me uireuuon or tne ODject he was seeking. He has had more than enoush to nav him doubly for all the party work he ever performed. Geddes ia not noted for doing work without compensation. Colonel Burns is now well advanced in years, broken down in health, and mind Cn.n. cially by reason of rendering assistance to others, and when he was about to receive the recognition due him, Gtddes must' reach out and snatch the nomination from his grasp. And yet t Is Said that Cnlnnnl .,'11 ,ol,a tu. iitump for the man who has so badly more than likelv that many ot tha Cnl. onel's friends may not be so easily pacified as to not resent a wrong when they have bn upiiurvunuy, . General Jones, the Republican candi- date, is a citizen of this place ; a man of nnoiemiabed reputation ; one who baa tbe confidence of everybody, and will poll more than his party vote. The National nominee it George W. Pepper, a minister, who will perhaps hear many loud calls in his present profession before he hears a call to go to Washington. What he will do in the race for which he ia now entered ia something- no leiian can nno out." London Loeata. London, August 27. To tha Editor of the Ohio State Journal : No new developments have been made, clue found, no conjectures advanced nor opinions expressed concerning our great sensation, the Armstrong murder, but what has been published in the State Journal. A Bpelling match will be held at the Court House hereon next Saturday evening. The entire proceeds of which are to be sent to the fever-stricken people of the Soutb. The Presbyterian Society of this town will run an excursion train from here to Cincinnati on Thursday of this week. A large number of veterans of the 113th regiment, O. V. I., from this coun ty, will attend the reunion of the regiment at Columbus on next Friday. London ia considered the best grain market in Central Ohio. The farmers say they receive the highest prices for all kinds of grain. Next Tuesday is our regular salesday. Besides the large amount of stock that is brought here on that day. we are (dis)- graced with the presence of Columbus gentlemen who "call the turn" at our club rooms. Oh, we go it metropolitan on salesdays. A large number of the Irish Democrats in this town will not vote for George L. Converse, on account of hisKnow-Noth-ing record, but will go it solid for En- glieh. A View ol Kearney. To the Editor of the Ohio Stale Journal : Your correspondent traveled by rail to day thirtythree and onethird miles to hear the speech of one Dennis Kearney, de livered in Columbus this evening. To use one of the pat expressions of the man in question, the writer never before listen ed to or saw as seemingly a respectable audience listen to, as dirty a "black guard." Kearney has not been thorough ly appreciated by the press never proper ly graueu id we scale 01 numanuy. When mentioned at all. he has been put down . as a stump peaker, a sort of. bastard reformer. which is where tbe mistake has been made. Kearney is not now, nor never was, or ever can be anything but a ruffian of the lowest stamp just the Bort of a character to lead a riot, or if need be, rob nana. He is to-day the exponent of a party. no, not a party, that is too respectable a name. A gang of men, who, no matter how they may attempt to disguise their ntentions as a disturbing element in this Republic, Labor Reform, Nationalism, or any other name by which they may designate themselves is nothing but Kearney-ism. Honesty and morality must put their feet on this fungus. Aupust 20. Bonn Plntt on tbe "oblo Idea." Washington Capital. I The Democracy of Ohio claim to have an idea. We would be pleased to congratulate the Ohio Democrucy upon the novel pos session, aid tuey enjoy such property. The Ohio idea, so-called, is as old as politics. It means to find out what the people moBt desire and promise to grant the same after the election. It is always promised and never granted. In this case it can not be granted, for what is asked is an impossibility. The people want more money. The Democracy Bay ''That iB a reason able want; return us to power and you shall have the money." By money they mean promises to pay money in the shape of greenbacks. The Democracy, in this, is two removes trom tbe consummation so devoutly wished. They promise to give promises- to pay money. When a man ib notorioualy in a fail ing condition financially he cannot get out his notes, for people will not take them. A government in like condition finds the same difficulty. While it leaves its promises to pay unredeemed Ub further issue of promises are regarded with just BUHpiciuu auu uepreciaie lu value. The Government is met with another difficulty. It is engaged in no business through which money can be expended. It is a non-producer, and collects money in the shape of taxes to pay its expenses. Money thus accumulated is taken from the people to pay interest on debts, con tracts on improvements and salaries of omciaiB. in this process it creates no value. It only takes from one to give another. It leaves the volume of currency precisely where it found it; for the value of its promise to pay depends upon its ability to pay; so that the attempt to substitute promises for performance, and cie-ate something out of nothing, is a power pertaining to God, but haa failed when attempted by a government. It cannot make a value by law where no value existed, but it can disturb values for a while, and eo paralyze trade, for trade depends on a recognized profit, and when that cannot be Been trade ceaBes. Give Sam. Gary or California Kearney a million in gold each, and neither will take one dollar and purchase a bushel of wheat until he can see where he can sell at one dollar ten. If the Government intervenes and, by cheapening the currency, disturbs the value and makes the profit of ten cents doubtful, the cunning Cary and Kearney will not purchase at all. It is safer to hold an article of such intrinsic value that it cannot be affected by Gov ernments than change it for articles de pendent upon the action of government. A Treasure Up a Tree. A treasure up a tree was Been in the watches of the night by a peddler who was sleeping in a farm house in the Shen andoah valley. He told his dream to the farmer the next morning, and on three successive nights he had the same vision. Then he prevailed upon the farmer to accompany him to the forest, where he pointed out a large oak as the one he had seen in his dream. It waa apparently sound at the butt, but about twenty feet up a iimo nao Deen broken en. Tbe farmer did not feel like humorinir what he supposed to be a superstitious whim, but ine oio. lenow seemed to bave confadence in his vision, and offered him onehalf of the spoils if be would help him cut down the tree. When the tree fell there waa a rattle of coin near where the limb had been broken off, and a small hollow was found there. By a little chopping a larger cavity was found, and within was a mass of silver. Both seemed wild with delight, and on counting up found that the pile amounted to $5000. The peddler expressed his unwillingness to carry around so much silver in his pocket acd inquired where he would be likely to get greenbacks for his share. The farmer having considerable money in his house, immediately transferred to the VL A. PRITCHAED & CO., 88. 87, 89 and VI WENT BKOAD ST BERT. DIED.

Tourists who have been in Elsinore, Denmark, will remember the so-called grave of Hamlet, which has been recently constructed there to gratify public curiosity and lovers of ShakeBpeare. They may be glad to learn that the grave has within a few months been improved, and now looka less transparently fictitious than it used to. Everybody knows that Hamlet's grave is a sham; but such knowledge doea not prevent many people from feeling an interest in it. True, it. is not the ideal prince's grave, but then it might be, if it were; and isn't that something? Visits to noted places incline us to believe what we do not believe at all, Don't we look intently at the spurious blood-stains of Rizzio's wounds in Holyrood Palace; at Juliet's tomb at Verona, though perfectly aware that it is an old horse trough; at the fancied dungeon of Taaso at Ferrara ; at the rock where St, Peter waa (not) chained in the Mamertine Prison in Rome, and at scores of other spots where historic and poetic events are presumed to have taken place, many of whioh never took place there or anywhere else. Un questionably many of us like to be hum bugged, and we particularly like to humbug ourselves. We travel in foreign lands to see wonderful things, and when the things have disappeared, or are visionary, should not others be substituted on which we may at least exercise our imagination? The Roman Church understands the art of inventing sacred relics and ecclesiastic occurrences. Why should not the secu lar mind of the Old World be similarly employed. Hamlet's grave is good. To quote one of the patristic writeis, we be- novo iu lb uecuuse it is impossible. A tlruel Comparison. Troy Times. Lieutenant E. W. Stone jr., who is in charge of the commissary department of the expedition of General Howard against the Indians, in a private letter says : " We are ragged and dirty, burnt and tired, and a forlorn-looking crowd. Have not been where a paymaster could reach us, and whoever haa a dollar ia a rich man. We are living principally on bacon and brown augar." A Democratic Coneress says thnsa man are an incubus upon the Government. It is determined to cut their numbers down from 25,000 to 10,000, and to increase their hardships by doubling the work they are required to perform. And yet this Congress sends its rovinir ri.mmii. BioriB broadcast through the land, andeup- pur.o lucm m luxury anu ease, we nevir bear of one of these Democratic committees looking ragged and dirty, however forlorn its members may appear, or ol their livins upon bacon and brown sugar The fat of the laud is good enough for them. Their pockets are never emply eo long as there is a dollar in the public treasury. The contrast ia suigastive. It is now recommended to give inhalations of ammonia before administering chloroform, with a view to counteracting the depressing effect of the latter.

Do the workingmen intend to continue workingmen ? If not what do they propose to become ? If they do intend to continue working-men will they work for themselves or others ? If for themselves on what plan ? If on the co-operative plan what is to prevent them from doing so now, or of becoming stockholders in any railroad or other corporation ? If they are to work for others, on what terms or conditions ? , Who is to fix the conditions ? If the others are to fix the conditions, in what does that differ from the present state of affairs ? If the workingmen are to make the conditions upon which they are to work for others, how will they compel the others to agree to their conditions ? How will they get others to invest money in a.ny enterprise which is not under their own control in the matter of labor? Bow, Uranea Atljieu. According to Comptes Bendus, St. Pierre and Mugnien have arrived at the following conclusions in regard to the changes which grapes undergo while ripening. During the process they evolve carbonic acid in darkness as well as in light, when exposed to the air or placed in an indifierent gas. The amount of oxygen evolved in air is always in excess of the oxygen taken up; this has been remarked in the case of observations ex tending over a long apace of time. Grapes ean absorb or give off water according as they are placed in a moist or dry medium. As the change goes on the acids decrease in amount, while the quantity of sugar increases. The acids and the glucose are carried to the grapes by the sap. Here the acids are slowly consumed, while the sugar increase in point of concentration, and at a still later stag the sugar itself u consumed. BY TELEGRAPH TO THE OHIO STATE JOURNAL YELLOW FEVER.

The Association for the Advancement of Science, yesterday, at St. Louis, elected the following officers: President, Geo. F. Barker, Philadelphia; Vice Presidents, F. B. Laogley, Allegheny City, and Ma jor J. W. Powell, Washington; Financial secretary, U. A, utile, Georgia; Treasurer, W. T. Vaux, Philadelphia. The Permanent Secretary, W. Putnam, holds over. The next session will be held at Saratoga, the third Wednesday of AugUBt next. A Washington special in yesterday's Cincinnati Commercial sayB information is received here that tbe Potter committee will hold its next meeting in Wash ington about the 1st of October, when, it is said, the original of the much discussed Sherman-Anderson letter will be produced by the celebrated magician named Butler. Mrs. Jenks says she wrote this letter, and Weber says that be destroyed it. General Butler produces it in Sherman's own penmanship intact and authenticated. The publio will never know whom to believe. A gentleman here who has recently seen General Butler, corroborates the statement in the New York paperB regarding the recent discovery of the letter, but he knows of no one who has seen it, except General Butler. If Secretary Sherman had never denied writing such a communication, its existence would have no importance whatever, as it means nothing. But Butler, Potter and other anti-Administration members of the committee, would imperil their immortal Bonis to prove Secretary Sherman a liar, . Oblo. Tiffin has begun work on her Water Works. Springfield is contributing freely to the yellow fever Bufferers. The National Temperance Camp Meeting began in Springfield yesterday, Francis Murphy and son William are on hand. William Grizzle, of Steubenville, charged with attempting to murder Mrs, Gorman, last Thurday, .had a hearing Monday, and was'discharged, Mr. Jacob PeterB, who lives near West Jefferson, was fatally injured by a threshing machine with which he was working, north of that town, Monday. JoBeph Stump, of Newark, charged with robbing Thomas Farrell of over $2000, was arrested at Zinesville, Monday, by Marshal Brooks, of Newark, Eight weeks ago $20,000 in notes and mortgages were stolen in broad daylight from a buggy in Bellefoutaine. They were the properly of Mrs. Brown, of Zanesfield, Ohio. The robbery was kept quiet, and Monday, Marshal James Pratt, of that town, recovered the property and captured the thief, A, C. Weaver by name. Marshal Koran, of Millersburg, on Monday arrested the supposed two tramps who so cruelly outraged the person of a little girl near Wadsworth, Medina county, last Saturday. The Marshal of the latter place took and started the tramps for that locality, and it was thought the people would lynch the tramps before waiting for a trial. One J. M. Blose, a Justice of the Peace, of Fremont, believes in summary and corporal punishment. Having a good many tools Btolen from him, he found them on Monday, in a obest in an old buildiog, where they had been placed by tbe boys who etole them. As the officials watched and caught the boys, one at a time, this 'Squire Blood by with a horsewhip, and with it administered, what he deemed a merited punishment. The community upheld the Justice's way of doing busineas. Andrew Carey, near Plain Oity, a few nights since had his fine fat cattle run into by the East bound express train on the Panhandle road, killing five of the cattle and nearly wrecking the train. The matter looked mysterious, as Mr, Carsy's cattle were carefully kept in their pasture. Oa examining the matter it was found that the fence where Ihe cattle came out of the pasture had been earefully laid down, and horses' tracks were seen there and on each side of the railroad crossing, Indicating that tha cattle had been huddled on the track for a similar purpose. There is said to be yet more and nnpublishable proof in the matter, yet to be investigated. Messrs. Snyder A Blankford.

It is eaid the rebels retreating from Seraievo went to ward the Servian frontier and will croBS it if closely pressed. It is also stated that prisoners were captured at Dobsja wearing the uniform of the Servian militia. The insurgents about Dobsja have been' largely reinforced and have vigorously attacked Dobsja several times, endeavoring to turn General Szaparay's positions and destroy his pontoons across tbe Bosnia, so as to prevent reinforce- ments from arriving. According to Vienna advices General Ssaparav re pulsed all attacks; but Beuter's dispatch from Belgrade, dated tbe 26th, states that the insurgents declare that General Szaparay has withdrawn from Dobsja to tne leu nana 01 ine Bosnia and destroyed the bridges. They bIbo claim that Gen eral Phillipovilch's army at Serajevo is senouBiy threatened on both Hanks. Reinforcements are hurrying from Auatria. Insurgents are increasing in every direction.

A View of tbe Congressional Field Uow Oeddea Treated Burn. Mt. Vernon, August 27. To the Editor ol the Ohio Slate Journal : There is not much doing in a political way in this Congressional district. The three parties are organized for the fray, and the most flurry so far ia being made by the Nationals, but how many parts wind to solid fact it contains is the thing whioh is hard to find out. They claim that they will get 6000 votes in the district. They may get 400 votes in tbis county, expeot but little in Holmes, but count big on the Tuscarawas miners, while Richland is not much talked about. There is considerable soreneBs in Richland and Holmea on account of the treatment Colonel Burns has recsived at the hands of the Democratic nominee, George W. Geddes. During the war he was remarri ed as being on about as many sides of the political leooo as any man could well be. During a good part of the time he held office, and atone time was on the State ticket for Supreme Judee. and vet all this oould not or did not appease his selfish desireB. When the time drew near for the present nomination, he held aloof and was OBtenaily a friend of Colooel Burns, and when it was Been that in a few more ballots that geutleman could receive the nomination. Mr. Ged des suddenly discovered that he possessed the elements of a dark horse. He hung about the Convention with the persistency of grim death, and had his trap fully baited. At the proper time it wbb Bprung. and he carried off tha nrli defeating his old friend and former business partner. Such base ingratitude has seldom been witnessed, and that too when it is known that Colonel Rums in former years always gave him a push in me uireuuon or tne ODject he was seeking. He has had more than enoush to nav him doubly for all the party work he ever performed. Geddes ia not noted for doing work without compensation. Colonel Burns is now well advanced in years, broken down in health, and mind Cn.n. cially by reason of rendering assistance to others, and when he was about to receive the recognition due him, Gtddes must' reach out and snatch the nomination from his grasp. And yet t Is Said that Cnlnnnl .,'11 ,ol,a tu. iitump for the man who has so badly more than likelv that many ot tha Cnl. onel's friends may not be so easily pacified as to not resent a wrong when they have bn upiiurvunuy, . General Jones, the Republican candi- date, is a citizen of this place ; a man of nnoiemiabed reputation ; one who baa tbe confidence of everybody, and will poll more than his party vote. The National nominee it George W. Pepper, a minister, who will perhaps hear many loud calls in his present profession before he hears a call to go to Washington. What he will do in the race for which he ia now entered ia something- no leiian can nno out." London Loeata. London, August 27. To tha Editor of the Ohio State Journal : No new developments have been made, clue found, no conjectures advanced nor opinions expressed concerning our great sensation, the Armstrong murder, but what has been published in the State Journal. A Bpelling match will be held at the Court House hereon next Saturday evening. The entire proceeds of which are to be sent to the fever-stricken people of the Soutb. The Presbyterian Society of this town will run an excursion train from here to Cincinnati on Thursday of this week. A large number of veterans of the 113th regiment, O. V. I., from this coun ty, will attend the reunion of the regiment at Columbus on next Friday. London ia considered the best grain market in Central Ohio. The farmers say they receive the highest prices for all kinds of grain. Next Tuesday is our regular salesday. Besides the large amount of stock that is brought here on that day. we are (dis)- graced with the presence of Columbus gentlemen who "call the turn" at our club rooms. Oh, we go it metropolitan on salesdays. A large number of the Irish Democrats in this town will not vote for George L. Converse, on account of hisKnow-Noth-ing record, but will go it solid for En- glieh. A View ol Kearney. To the Editor of the Ohio Stale Journal : Your correspondent traveled by rail to day thirtythree and onethird miles to hear the speech of one Dennis Kearney, de livered in Columbus this evening. To use one of the pat expressions of the man in question, the writer never before listen ed to or saw as seemingly a respectable audience listen to, as dirty a "black guard." Kearney has not been thorough ly appreciated by the press never proper ly graueu id we scale 01 numanuy. When mentioned at all. he has been put down . as a stump peaker, a sort of. bastard reformer. which is where tbe mistake has been made. Kearney is not now, nor never was, or ever can be anything but a ruffian of the lowest stamp just the Bort of a character to lead a riot, or if need be, rob nana. He is to-day the exponent of a party. no, not a party, that is too respectable a name. A gang of men, who, no matter how they may attempt to disguise their ntentions as a disturbing element in this Republic, Labor Reform, Nationalism, or any other name by which they may designate themselves is nothing but Kearney-ism. Honesty and morality must put their feet on this fungus. Aupust 20. Bonn Plntt on tbe "oblo Idea." Washington Capital. I The Democracy of Ohio claim to have an idea. We would be pleased to congratulate the Ohio Democrucy upon the novel pos session, aid tuey enjoy such property. The Ohio idea, so-called, is as old as politics. It means to find out what the people moBt desire and promise to grant the same after the election. It is always promised and never granted. In this case it can not be granted, for what is asked is an impossibility. The people want more money. The Democracy Bay ''That iB a reason able want; return us to power and you shall have the money." By money they mean promises to pay money in the shape of greenbacks. The Democracy, in this, is two removes trom tbe consummation so devoutly wished. They promise to give promises- to pay money. When a man ib notorioualy in a fail ing condition financially he cannot get out his notes, for people will not take them. A government in like condition finds the same difficulty. While it leaves its promises to pay unredeemed Ub further issue of promises are regarded with just BUHpiciuu auu uepreciaie lu value. The Government is met with another difficulty. It is engaged in no business through which money can be expended. It is a non-producer, and collects money in the shape of taxes to pay its expenses. Money thus accumulated is taken from the people to pay interest on debts, con tracts on improvements and salaries of omciaiB. in this process it creates no value. It only takes from one to give another. It leaves the volume of currency precisely where it found it; for the value of its promise to pay depends upon its ability to pay; so that the attempt to substitute promises for performance, and cie-ate something out of nothing, is a power pertaining to God, but haa failed when attempted by a government. It cannot make a value by law where no value existed, but it can disturb values for a while, and eo paralyze trade, for trade depends on a recognized profit, and when that cannot be Been trade ceaBes. Give Sam. Gary or California Kearney a million in gold each, and neither will take one dollar and purchase a bushel of wheat until he can see where he can sell at one dollar ten. If the Government intervenes and, by cheapening the currency, disturbs the value and makes the profit of ten cents doubtful, the cunning Cary and Kearney will not purchase at all. It is safer to hold an article of such intrinsic value that it cannot be affected by Gov ernments than change it for articles de pendent upon the action of government. A Treasure Up a Tree. A treasure up a tree was Been in the watches of the night by a peddler who was sleeping in a farm house in the Shen andoah valley. He told his dream to the farmer the next morning, and on three successive nights he had the same vision. Then he prevailed upon the farmer to accompany him to the forest, where he pointed out a large oak as the one he had seen in his dream. It waa apparently sound at the butt, but about twenty feet up a iimo nao Deen broken en. Tbe farmer did not feel like humorinir what he supposed to be a superstitious whim, but ine oio. lenow seemed to bave confadence in his vision, and offered him onehalf of the spoils if be would help him cut down the tree. When the tree fell there waa a rattle of coin near where the limb had been broken off, and a small hollow was found there. By a little chopping a larger cavity was found, and within was a mass of silver. Both seemed wild with delight, and on counting up found that the pile amounted to $5000. The peddler expressed his unwillingness to carry around so much silver in his pocket acd inquired where he would be likely to get greenbacks for his share. The farmer having considerable money in his house, immediately transferred to the VL A. PRITCHAED & CO., 88. 87, 89 and VI WENT BKOAD ST BERT. DIED.

Tourists who have been in Elsinore, Denmark, will remember the so-called grave of Hamlet, which has been recently constructed there to gratify public curiosity and lovers of ShakeBpeare. They may be glad to learn that the grave has within a few months been improved, and now looka less transparently fictitious than it used to. Everybody knows that Hamlet's grave is a sham; but such knowledge doea not prevent many people from feeling an interest in it. True, it. is not the ideal prince's grave, but then it might be, if it were; and isn't that something? Visits to noted places incline us to believe what we do not believe at all, Don't we look intently at the spurious blood-stains of Rizzio's wounds in Holyrood Palace; at Juliet's tomb at Verona, though perfectly aware that it is an old horse trough; at the fancied dungeon of Taaso at Ferrara ; at the rock where St, Peter waa (not) chained in the Mamertine Prison in Rome, and at scores of other spots where historic and poetic events are presumed to have taken place, many of whioh never took place there or anywhere else. Un questionably many of us like to be hum bugged, and we particularly like to humbug ourselves. We travel in foreign lands to see wonderful things, and when the things have disappeared, or are visionary, should not others be substituted on which we may at least exercise our imagination? The Roman Church understands the art of inventing sacred relics and ecclesiastic occurrences. Why should not the secu lar mind of the Old World be similarly employed. Hamlet's grave is good. To quote one of the patristic writeis, we be- novo iu lb uecuuse it is impossible. A tlruel Comparison. Troy Times. Lieutenant E. W. Stone jr., who is in charge of the commissary department of the expedition of General Howard against the Indians, in a private letter says : " We are ragged and dirty, burnt and tired, and a forlorn-looking crowd. Have not been where a paymaster could reach us, and whoever haa a dollar ia a rich man. We are living principally on bacon and brown augar." A Democratic Coneress says thnsa man are an incubus upon the Government. It is determined to cut their numbers down from 25,000 to 10,000, and to increase their hardships by doubling the work they are required to perform. And yet this Congress sends its rovinir ri.mmii. BioriB broadcast through the land, andeup- pur.o lucm m luxury anu ease, we nevir bear of one of these Democratic committees looking ragged and dirty, however forlorn its members may appear, or ol their livins upon bacon and brown sugar The fat of the laud is good enough for them. Their pockets are never emply eo long as there is a dollar in the public treasury. The contrast ia suigastive. It is now recommended to give inhalations of ammonia before administering chloroform, with a view to counteracting the depressing effect of the latter.
